Folk Music
a daughter
named seble
seven years old
being in a coma
she couldn't hear her
daddy's words
she couldn't see him
fog in front of her eyes
covering differences of
sleep and wakefulness
oneday seble's father
who was desparate
put headphones
on seble's ears
lyrics from two tall germans
they are called the
"wildecker herzbuben"
"herz" means heart and a
"bube" is a boy
seble
closed eyes
slowly breathing
seble's father is called
brhane
rapidly breathing
brhane was pressing play
and after seconds
among lurid lights
seble
harvest
moved her head
seble closed eyes smiled
as the wildecker herzbuben sang:
"Ein letztes Glas'l mit alten Freunden
die geh'n allein nach Haus.
In den StraΓen
in den Gassen
geh'n langsam die Lichter aus."
a last drink with my buddies
who go home alone
in the streets
in the alleys
the lights are vanishing
seble moved her head
no windows but
her daddy was there
sebles mother is not alive
anymore
brhane prayed
holding his daughter's hand
seble opened one eye
looking at brhane
seble came back to reality when
brhan had finished his talk to
god
the end of seble's and brhane's
story is wordless
